"We are very excited about having Gary join the SPIRIT team. He brings a wealth of experience and is dedicated to helping St. Louis businesses address security concerns and minimize operational business risks," said Michael Tabman the founder of SPIRIT and a 24 year veteran of the FBI. We face unusual challenges right now. Unfortunately, when money gets tight, we tend to cut down on non-critical expenses. Prevention is often viewed as non-critical, and that could not be further from the truth. Prevention is critical - especially when money is tight. You cannot risk dishonesty, theft, data compromise, damage to your assets and you must always be alert to the worst case scenario of potential harm to your personnel.

The number of workplace violence incidents is growing and corporate America is taking notice. Increased job loss, with growing frustration and despair is pushing people to the edge. SPIRIT has seen an increase in the number of requests for workplace violence training. There are many steps a company can take to reduce the likelihood of a violent incident or to minimize injuries should such a tragic event occur. Gary recently appeared on FOX 2 News to discuss the growing threat of workplace violence. Watch Gary's interview by visiting SPIRIT's website: www.spiritllc.biz SPIRIT president Michael Tabman has added a former FBI SWAT team leader to the SPIRIT team to design role playing exercises for training employees to respond to an active shooter threat.

Workplace violence is not the only internal threat businesses must guard against. Fraud, misappropriation, and both moral and morale hazards can hurt a company's bottom line. Strong internal controls can help minimize those risks. SPIRIT helps businesses design plans and policies to protect businesses from these potential threats.
